Psalms 112

1 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

2 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

4 Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

7 Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

8 Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

9 He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

10 The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
